A lot of four-panel comics have trouble with telling good jokes and will stretch the gag out too far, but when you cut out the varying art for reactions and smash all the dialogue together the flaws in the "joke" just become all the more obvious.

I know I've said this a million times before, but the main problem is that Zakour doesn't know when to stop telling the joke. He hits the punch line, then has the characters keep talking like he wants to make sure everyone understands that something silly happened.

He was also counting on the fact that Ben is just a big dumb boxer with no journalism experience. He figured Ben would be all gung-ho about fixing Florin's wagon and not actually do the proper research. He was actually right about that part, too. Ben would have totally screwed up the whole thing, except that his editor and various other newspaper people with experience put the brakes on Ben pretty fast. So I guess Florin's biggest problem was that he forgot that there is staff at the newspaper besides Ben Bolt.

Someone else might have mentioned this before, but is 'other woman' really the right term in Saint Cancer Tales? I know there's no official term for 'future wife of my former husband plus by the way I'm dead by now', but 'other woman' has only negative connotations to me.

i'm pretty sure Lisa is still alive, sitting in a bunker somewhere and just making tapes and books and letters to gently caress up Les' life.

Well, it does assume that a Third Woman is highly improbable, which is why the sad-faced love triangle after the time skip was such a hoot.

Yeah, it kind of seems to imply that Lisa considers Les marrying again to be a form of infidelity. Perhaps to be remedied by a weird video where she hounds the "other woman" with passive aggressive assertions of their eternal love. Christ, what an rear end in a top hat.

The way I see it is that the kid started from the sidewalk and worked his way up the path to the house, flinging snow behind him. Dad got caught in the frezy and had to walk through the yard to avoid being hit by snow or shovel.

This storyline is making me unreasonably cross; I had a hell of a time getting away from an abusive ex-husband who was very good at putting on a public face of someone who was good-hearted, kind, and the victim of my unreasonable meanie-ness. The first couple of times I tried to escape via mutual friends, this scenario more or less happened. Awww, sure, go on back to the poor man, look how sad and lonely he is and how mean and selfish you are. Bleurgh!!!

I mean, I guess that's what you get for living at the bottom of the sea. And everything is going to be super salty and soggy as well. You really wouldn't be able to cook anything. Don't any of you "sushi" me, that stuff also involves rice and veggies and sauces and I don't know where you're going to get any of that at the bottom of the goddamn ocean. Guh. Namor. Dude. Are you secretly just pissed at land-dwellers because sea-dwelling sucks? Loving the cranky sad face, though. Sally Forth  The Heart of Juliet Jones  Eve, he's been telling you to gently caress off every time he's met you since, well, the day he met you.
